This is a great resource for newbie's like myself. I got up and starter in about 30 minutes. Did install, added repository and created a new project. Very worth the time to view this video. Great Job!

Did anyone have an issue when doing the "get clone url," getting a message about not having the developers tools?
FWIW, this was a great quick-start tutorial. As someone who's been coding a few decades now, and just wanted a quick primer on how to apply what I already know about source control to getting started with GIT, this was perfect. For those nay-saying the video, please step back and realize it's a quick-start for the most-common-denominator set. That's all it's meant to be, and in that it does a very good job. 
Important note: On Windows at least, 'git' is not a recognized internal or external command on cmd.exe. You have to go to the GitHub application, click the gear in the upper-right corner of the window and click "Open in Git Shell" or something involving Git Shell. That's the program that will actually work with git commands.

best tutorial on Github! Thank you :) subscribed
Thanks for the simple tutorial... now to get my coworkers to use this... they'll see into reason soon...
For those who are looking for a way to sync/upload your code (Java in my case) to Github for beginners on Windows: Just make sure you have GitHub already installed!!! 1. Create a repository. 2. Click "Clone in Desktop" on the bottom right corner. 3. You will be prompted to look for a folder, choose any, it will create another folder within. 4. Copy all the source files into the Folder automatically created which is usually named after the Repository Name. 5. Go on GitHub, it will say "Uncommited Changes". Click that 6. Type a summary or what not. 7. Click "Commit to Master" 8. Click "Sync" at the top right corner of GitHub 9. Refresh the page where the repository was made. It should all be there after the sync! 10. Thank me! :D BTW, this video really didn't help me much, I just thought from it!
